Re: [VFB] What is your preferred hook brand?

[Robert Schimpf]

For commercial tying and for my own use, Tiemco and Daiichi.  Both make good strong sharp hooks.  I used to use Mustad, and still have a bunch, which I use for the classes I teach --they're fine for "practice".    But I found that Mustad's quality control is poor.  In almost every box of 100 hooks I find at least 3-4 that are misshapen in some way.  This hardly ever happens with the Tiemcos or Daiichis.   Janet Schimpf's Nymphs ----- Original Message ----- From: Deborah Duran To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 4:41 AM Subject: [VFB] What is your preferred hook brand? I was wondering what your preferred hook brand is?   Based on durability, sharpness and appearance of the finished product, what hook brand do you prefer to use for your personal tying? Deb
